Fishing Guide

Vanguard Fishing BoatVG’s Integrated Structural Design [ISD] make the Venture Self-Bailing rafts the hottest thing to hit the fishing market. The rigidity provided by ISD yields a boat which combines the best characteristics of both rigid hull drift boats and rafts. This allows guides the maneuverability and low drag sought in a drift boat with the access to areas only available to an inflatable! Venture’s standard setting SB floor design is built for a 2.75 psi working pressure [the highest in the industry!] and provides a stable standing platform and is set high enough to keep your client’s feet dry!
"The Vanguard moves very well on the water and in the bony sections, I was able to scoot around rocks like I was in a drift boat"
-Matt Hansen, Professional Fly Fishing Guide

Commercial Outfitter

OARS RaftsOutfitters & Liveries are quickly learning VG offers genuine VALUE in a business climate fraught with rising costs. The kind of VALUE which allows them to stretch their equipment purchase budget, generate more revenue for their invested dollars in a shorter period of time, re-new their fleets with the sharpest looking boats on the water, and build their fleets to capture revenue during those short windows of opportunity. VALUE in knowing they have the kind of support and service behind their VG product!
"In purchasing 25 rafts and IK's last season we at OARS made a smart business decision. They are a genuine value! In our South & Middle Fork operation our guides love the performance and said the VG's definately gave our customers a lot wetter ride."
